In July of the fifth year of Taihe (231), the elite Shu Han army led by Ma Di officially invaded Guanzhong. Nearly 60,000 soldiers from both groups met victoriously at the foot of Chencang City, and their frontline was directed towards the Guanzhong Chang'an area of Wei State.
Huge banners with the words "Northern Expedition to the Central Plains", "Recovery of the Han Dynasty", "Ma", "Zhang", "Huang", "Li", "Qiang", "Di" and other words are flying in the wind in the Guanzhong area in the wilderness.
As the war was going very smoothly, Axiu's disguised "Ma Su" legion successfully caused the generals in Guanzhong of Wei State to misjudge the main attack direction of the Shu army and attracted their attention to the Chencang area. While Ma Su was quietly In the meantime, they secretly attacked the Xiegu Pass, Wuzhangyuan, and Chencang City, and then cooperated with the inside and outside to capture the Dashan Pass, opening up two roads for the Shu Han to go north.
Faced with Ma Su's fierce offensive, Beiyuan County and Hanxing County, which were closest to Chencang, surrendered, announced their separation from the Wei State, and sent Ma Su a surrender.
When the news reached Chang'an, the monarchs and ministers of Cao Wei were shocked. Emperor Cao Rui was so shocked that he almost bit off his own tongue.
It must be said that the Northern Expedition of the Shu Han Dynasty was astonishing. From Liangzhou to Xixian, from Chencang Road to Xiegu and then to Ziwu Valley, the army was divided into five groups to attack, three were real and two were weak.
Ever since Liu Bei entered Sichuan, Shu Han had never organized such a grand offensive against Wei.
Now, the Shu army is coming.
No one knows whether Sima Yi panicked or not. Cao Rui was really panicked. He ordered soldiers and horses from all over the country to gather with King Qin of Chang'an and convened a meeting with the accompanying ministers to discuss countermeasures.
At this time, it was already the third day since Chencang was lost.
…
After conquering the two counties of Beiyuan and Hanxing without any bloodshed, Ma Di did not take the opportunity to expand the victory. Instead, he had a banquet held at the foot of Chencang City to reward the three armies and reward the meritorious soldiers.
Reward based on merit is a clearly stated military rule of this era, and clear rewards and punishments are the basis for soldiers to be willing to fight to the death.
Therefore, after the war came to an end, Ma Di immediately rewarded all the soldiers who participated in the war. He also called out the young singing girls presented by the magistrates of Beiyuan and Hanxing counties, and made them wear thin gauze clothes at the banquet and dance to the beat of drums. , dancing a dance that would make any woman shy.
All the soldiers were feasting their eyes and laughing heartily.
The atmosphere at the banquet was getting thick when suddenly a white-faced young general came out, pointed at Ma Su and scolded Ma Su: "There is a difference between men and women. This is a matter of human ethics. On a national day, how could a general let a woman be naked in front of a large audience! Even in the summer of the past Jie, Shang Zhou's mediocrity and chaos are not as good as this."
After that, the white-faced young man resigned angrily and left.
The generals looked at each other in confusion after hearing this, and looked at the young general who was leaving, and found that he was actually Yang Wanwan, the most courageous young general in the attack on Dashan Pass, who would take the lead in every battle.
So everyone looked at Ma Di with worried faces.
Even if Yang Wanwan is brave and good at fighting and has made many meritorious deeds in this Northern Expedition, he may not be able to bear the responsibility of rebuking the coach in person.
If he had a bad-tempered general, he might have been killed on the spot.
Ma Su actually doesn't like to watch this kind of dance. The great wizard and Axiu are both snake-waisted dance kings. He is almost tired of watching dances that are hotter than this kind of dance. This time, the main reason for letting the dancers come out to perform is to Reward the soldiers. Since the soldiers have objections, just ignore it.
Ma Su quickly waved away the female dancers and asked the young general Yang Wanwan to return to his seat. After asking, he found out that this person was Axiu's general, the son of Yang Wanwan, the king of Baima Di, and he was twenty-one years old this year.
It turned out that this fair-faced youngster was Yang Wanwan's son who had died long ago... Ma Su suddenly realized that a piece of information flashed in his mind for no apparent reason.
Compared with his unknown and premature death, his father Yang Wanwan and his son Yang Feilong both left great names in history.
Yang Feilong laid a solid foundation for the establishment of the former Qiu Chi Kingdom (296-371 AD).
The Yang family was originally from Qingshui Di, Lueyang, and had been settled in Longyou during the Qin and Han Dynasties.
During the Jian'an period of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Yang Teng led his troops to move to Qiuchi and settle down. In 210, Yang Teng died, and his grandson Yang Wanwan succeeded to the throne.
In the seventeenth year of Jian'an (212 years), Ma Chao defended Jicheng and separatized Longshang. He united with Han Sui, Yang Qiu and Agui, the Di king of Xingguo who occupied the present-day Gansu area, to join forces to resist Cao Cao. Later, due to defeat, a few generals defected to the Shu Han, and the rest of his tribe
He was moved to Fufeng and Tianshui area by Cao Cao. Cao Wei granted Yang Wan Wan the title of King of Baiqing Di.
In 263, Yang Wanwan died. Due to the early death of his only son (Yang Wanwan), his grandson Yang Feilong inherited his position as king...
During the reign of Emperor Wu of the Western Jin Dynasty, Yang Feilong was granted the title of Jin Dynasty. In the name of a false general to conquer the West, he led his tribe to "return to Lueyang". Yang Feilong's nephew Linghu Maosou (ie Yang Maosou) was his adopted son.
In the sixth year of Yuankang (296), the sixth year of Emperor Hui of the Western Jin Dynasty, Yang Feilong passed away. Yang Maosou led 4,000 tribesmen to move to Qiuchi. He named himself General Fuguo and King Youxian. The Di tribes supported him as king and founded Qianqiuchi.
The country was called Qiu Chi Gong, and its jurisdiction included Wudu and Yinping counties. Emperor Min appointed him as a hussar general and King Zuo Xian. In the first year of Jianwu in the Eastern Jin Dynasty (317), the former Qiu Chi split, and Yang Maosou's eldest son Yang
Duryodhana succeeded to the throne and was named the Left Xian King, and he was stationed at Tunxiabian. His younger brother Yang Jian was named the Right Xian King and was stationed in Hechi. Most of the present-day Longnan area was within his control. Afterwards, the brothers fought among themselves and the country became weaker. The former enemy
The Chi State was destroyed by Fu Ya, the former Qin clan minister, in 371, and existed for 75 years. In the same year, Fu Jian moved the Qiu Chi tribe to Guanzhong, and the former Qiu Chi State was destroyed.
…
With his thoughts returning, Ma Su bowed deeply to Yang Wanwan and asked him to take a seat on the left, in front of the three major generals Huang Xi, Li Sheng and Zhang Xiu.
When all the generals saw this, they were all in awe of Ma Su's broad mind.
The pretty boy Yang Wanwan was at a loss when he was treated with such courtesy. He sat restlessly, blushed, and became speechless.
Ma Su laughed, patted him on the shoulder, and told him to sit still and calm down.
By now, Ma Su had almost guessed why Yang Wanwan, who looked like a fierce general, died early, probably in a certain battlefield charge.
In this era of fighting, no matter whether a general is strong or not, it is best not to rush to the front line of the battlefield. You must know that swords and guns have no eyesight, and the risk of a strong general falling on the battlefield is very high, even in the eyes of certain opponents.
Here, the enemy troops rushing at the front are like white military exploits, prey with no risk and high reward.
For example, the death of Sun Jian.
For a strong general, it is best to maneuver from the center rather than charge into the battle.
This is Ma Su's most sober realization after coming to this era.
Therefore, even though his strength has reached 90 and he has few opponents, he never rushes forward during duels on the battlefield.
Isn’t it good to be alive?
Why rush into battle and show off?
For a general, the primary goal is to win the war, not to kill the generals and capture the flag.
Pushing towers and taking dragons is the key to winning a game. Indulging in single kills is of no benefit - the experience that Ma Su summed up in eight years of wasted years in the Bronze Five in his previous life is also applicable to this era.
Throughout the Three Kingdoms era, almost none of those generals who relied on their martial arts and liked to show off their strength met a happy end.
Lu Bu, Guan Fei, Zhang Yu, Sun Jian, Sun Ce, and young general Qu'a (who were surrounded and beaten to death by Sun Ce's twelve generals)... No matter how powerful and talented these people were, their deaths would be tragic!
Therefore, stability is very important.
Looking at Yang Wanwan, who had delicate features and handsome appearance, Ma Di turned on the light screen and looked at his data while unconsciously showing an appreciative smile.
I have to say, this guy is really handsome, and his skin looks fairer than that of women...
Name: Yang Wanwan.
Occupation: Military general.
Hidden occupation: None.
Force: 92 (72+10+5).

[Special talent: Jade Yan Zhaoyang (You are born with a face that makes people fall in love with you. Because of this, you can usually get forgiveness from others after you have made offensive actions to others. Note: This effect is only effective for those over sixty years old)
The above people are invalid.)]
"..."
Ma Su's screen dropped and he was speechless for a moment.
This guy's force value is actually as high as 92!
It seems that he has the qualifications to be a fierce general. I will cherish this talent.
When he thought of Yang Wanwan's high force value of 92, Ma Di felt that he had made a lot of money this time.
But Yang Wanwan's bad habit of rushing into battle... must be changed, otherwise he will easily die on the spot.
While holding a glass of wine and meditating on kung fu, Ma Di came up with an idea.
Advise Yang Wanwan to be more cautious in the future.
We must not let him die early.
The banquet ended quickly, and Yang Wanwan was left alone.
General Chencang's Mansion, backyard.
Ma Su took another careful look at Yang Baiwan, and then asked carefully after considering his words:
"Millions, how many years have you been in the army?"
Although he felt a little uncomfortable under Ma Su's direct gaze, Yang Baiwan still replied respectfully: "Back to General, it's been five years."
"Well, have you started a family yet?"
"Getting married."
"Well, do you want to be promoted?" Ma Su pointed out.
It was already a summer afternoon, the sun was slightly to the west, and the strong sunshine was shining that day. Even under the shade of trees, it was still extremely hot.
At this time, Ma Su had his sleeves rolled up, his arms bare, his arms exposed, his fan constantly waving, and he looked over with a "squinting look."
General, why do you say such a thing?
Yang Wanwan was dressed neatly and was not squinting. He was sweating all over his face and was not disturbed at all. When he heard these words, his face changed color on the spot.
He hesitated and said: "General, the last general is not good for Long Yang."
Ma Su glanced at him: "I'm asking you if you want to be promoted?"
Yang Wanwan said firmly: "The general will never sell his body."
Ma Su stopped waving his fan and said seriously: "That's not the right answer. I'm asking you if you want to be promoted!"
"I do! But I won't sell my body, general."
Ma Di waved his hand and changed his angle: "Do you know what is the first condition for a general to be promoted?"
"Is it a military exploit?"
"wrong."
"Is it because the boss thinks highly of you?"
"That's not right." Ma Su shook his head: "It's about surviving after a victory. A general must remember that taking the lead in charging into battle does not mean leading the way."
"General, doesn't taking the lead in charging into battle mean the same thing as leading the army?" Yang Wanwan asked with a frown.
"no the same."
Ma Di explained as he walked forward along the shade of the trees: "For example, you are about to lead an army to attack a city wall fifty feet away. You lead the soldiers to rush out thirty feet and then stop and let the soldiers continue to rush forward.
This is called taking the lead in charging. After passing thirty feet, you are still charging at the front, this is called leading by example."
"According to my incomplete statistics, the death rate of the general's leading soldiers is as high as 60%!"
Hearing this, Yang Baiwan breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, there are still 40% survivors."
"No, of the 40% survivors, 30% are half-dead and disabled."
"..."
"The general will pay attention to it in the future."
"Well, as long as you understand."
As he spoke, he walked to a sparkling place in the backyard, and Ma Su suddenly said: "Baiwan, please take off your clothes."
No, general, why do you say such things again?!
Yang Baiwan was shocked and turned pale. He quickly took two steps back and looked at Ma Su warily. He was so frightened that he almost turned around and ran away on the spot.
But I saw Ma Su suddenly plunge into the pool and paddle comfortably.
